Dominic Di Paola wants Horsham FC to give retiring club legend Gary Charman the perfect send off in his last-ever game on Saturday.

The hometown hero will call time on his 24-year career following the Hornets' home Isthmian Premier clash with Brightlingsea Regent this weekend.

Charman has done more than enough to earn himself a place in Horsham folklore.

The winger-turned-defender, who also had a two-year spell in charge of the club between 2013 and 2015, has appeared 615 times for the Hornets, surpassing Mark Stepney's long-standing record earlier this season, and was an integral part of the fabled Horsham team that reached the first round of the FA Cup in 2007.

Including games for the likes of Bognor Regis Town, Burgess Hill Town and Eastbourne Borough, Charman has made more than 800 appearances since his senior debut back in 1998.
